Send the speakers their RMS power or close to it, and match impedances.

Peak power is 100% meaningless 100% of the time.

i asked this cuz i know a guy that thinks he know everything about sound system.

he's always says watts but doesn't that mean he's talking peak power. Mainly when someone says watts they're talking about peak power?

when someone ask me how much watts are your subs. i answer 900RMS not 900watts

Hopefully, they're talking about RMS power. Saying "900 RMS" is redundant.
